Build and optimize your Wind River–based Linux distribution with confidence that it has been thoroughly validated and tested. Help is always at hand from our experts via an IRC channel as well as online documentation. You can easily prototype new designs for a wide variety of CPU architectures, using the many validated board support packages (BSPs) supplied by Wind River and its partners. And subscription customers can also leverage the Wind River Workbench development suite, a comprehensive set of Eclipse-based developer tools for building embedded products. • Optimized: Optimize your Linux-based devices for different market segments, use cases, and CPUs. Wind River Linux is carefully tuned to deliver high-reliability, deterministic, low-latency performance and small footprint, matched to meet the requirements of each use case. Integrate the packages we’ve already validated. Build from the ground up and create your own layers to easily locate and review all the changes made, add and remove packages, and implement specific features through customized kernel builds. • Secure: Wind River provides ongoing threat mitigation against emerging vulnerabilities. The Wind River security team constantly monitors security vulnerabilities, including specific security notifications from U.S. government agencies and organizations, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team, as well as public and private security mailing lists and the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) database. Wind River also offers system hardening and Long Term Support and Maintenance Continuous Delivery Lifecycle Services Open Source Community Leadership and Security Contribution Compliance Reliability Quality The most advanced embedded Linux development Performance DevOps-Ready platform is part of a comprehensive suite of products, tools, and lifecycle services for building and supporting intelligent edge devices. Figure 1. Benefits of using Wind River as your Linux partner 2 | Product Overview WIND RIVER LINUX SUBSCRIPTION AND SERVICES OFFERINGS securing against cyberattacks. Cybersecurity features are available through the Wind River Star Lab Titanium Security Suite for aerospace and defense use cases and the cybersecurity subscription for Wind River Linux for all other industries. • Certified: Wind River Linux follows strict engineering processes that are certified to ISO 9001:2015 and audited regularly for quality. This certification covers the design, development, integration, verification, validation, and maintenance of open source technologies when packaged into Wind River Linux. For the aerospace and defense segment, Wind River Linux is the first and only Linux OS to be Future Airborne Capability Environment™ (FACE™) Technical Standard conformant, as recognized by The Open Group FACE Consortium. Certified FACE conformance allows A&D developers to utilize open systems architectures, enabling more affordable systems with rapid capability insertion and better software portability. • Cloud native: Cloud-native computing architectures and technologies, such as containers, provide speed and scalability benefits; however, the technology itself is complex and built for the cloud, often inhibiting usage in embedded systems. Simplifying the integration of containers, Wind River provides pre- built containers, tools, and documentation along with support for Docker and Kubernetes frameworks, which aid in the deployment and management of devices in distributed networks, such as radio access network (RAN) products. Reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) with Wind River Long Term Support Predictable and frequent OS releases keep your code base up to date. • Certified Linux support and maintenance: Our award-winning, certified maintenance and 24/7 global customer support can drastically reduce your development efforts, lower costs, and better protect you from the risks inherent in managing your embedded software across its entire lifecycle. We monitor, assess, and quickly fix CVEs and defects (see Figure 2) to keep your device running safely and smoothly. Customers can access live assistance, product documentation, software patches, and other resources within the online Wind River Support Network. • Open source software (OSS) compliance artifacts: License compliance requirements arise when using OSS in production devices. To assist you in obtaining license compliance, Wind River supplies the required source code, legal notices, SPDX data, and software bill of materials associated with the OSS used to construct the product. Wind River is the first software to be OpenChain 2.0 conformant. All OSS artifacts are prepared under an OpenChain conforming program, providing an additional level of assurance.
